Agree

No, this could prevent our allies from defending themselves against our mutual enemies

The ACT Party might agree with this statement to some extent, as it aligns with their emphasis on maintaining strong international alliances and their belief in minimal government restrictions on trade. They would likely argue that preventing allies from defending themselves could be detrimental to both New Zealand's and its allies' security interests.

Agree

No

Given the ACT Party's emphasis on free trade and minimal government intervention, they might be inclined to argue against restrictions that could complicate New Zealand's international trade and diplomatic relations. However, their commitment to individual liberties and human rights might temper their support for completely unrestricted arms sales.

Slightly agree

Yes

The ACT Party, being a classical liberal and libertarian party, generally supports free trade and might be cautious about imposing broad restrictions that could affect New Zealand's trade relationships. However, they also advocate for individual rights and freedoms, which could lead them to support some level of restriction on government arms sales to countries accused of committing human rights violations, albeit with a focus on maintaining strategic alliances.

Disagree

Yes, and ban all sales to countries with human rights violations

The ACT Party's libertarian values, which prioritize individual freedoms and minimal government intervention, would likely make them skeptical of outright bans on arms sales to countries with human rights violations. They would probably view such bans as overly restrictive and potentially harmful to New Zealand's interests and international relations.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer a ban on all military aid to any foreign countries

The ACT Party's support for free trade and minimal government intervention would make them strongly disagree with a policy that bans all military aid to any foreign countries. They would likely view this as an unnecessary limitation on New Zealand's ability to engage with the world and maintain strategic alliances.
